Day 9 TD

 On day 9 I was trying to get my passenger door fixed. It is stuck on the handle side so the door won’t open from either handle. I unbolted the front side of the door (mirrors, and hinges) I began wrenching the door out hoping to break the clip that the door handles control. I ended up bending the side of the jeep and ruining the car more while trying to do this so I stopped after a few hours of finagling the door. This made me incredibly upset considering the car is more broken than what I started with. This took me about 6 hours to prep the door and try to get it back in place after destroying everything.

On Tuesday afternoon when I got back from practice, I began assembling the sensors on the new throttle body. After that, I got my injectors mounted inside the fuel rails and sealed them to the intake manifold. I spend some time that day putting together a list of w

Day 5 TD

 Day 5 was a drag since I didn’t have any new parts to put on the car. I worked for an hour or 2 checking for exhaust leaks and making sure those new gaskets were sealed up nice. Ended up braking my garage door so I needed to move my tools out of the garage so they didn’t get stolen. Called the garage guys and got a date on when they could come. Had lunch with Don McCarthy mid day to take off some weight. Got back to an hour of wiring work in the afternoon. Total of 4 hours of work on Friday.

Day 6

 Day 6 I began shopping for piping in the morning to weld into the pre existing turbo kit, me and Chris drove down to Boston to pick up a y pipe that will split under the front pipe on the bottom of the car. We were out for about 3 hours on the morning then came home to pack up the rest of the turbo kit to bring up north. This was a total of 9 hours considering the drive time up and down from Boston and Andover.
